ABOUT
Ronda Kimball is a Jesus Follower and a Licensed Professional Counselor. She graduated from California State University,  Northridge with her BA in Psychology, and earned her MS in Counseling from Hope International University, Fullerton, CA. 
 Ronda is a Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider (CIMHP) thus she takes a holistic approach to mental health, personal wholeness, and well-being.
Ronda uses her training in Brain Spotting, EMDR and advanced Continuing Education in Neuro-Biological Theory and BioEnergy for Peak Performance Enhancement, Excellence in Life and Enjoyment as a healing balm for the Brain and Behavior. 
 Ronda is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) who is EMDR Trained and is certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She uses these modalities in conjunction with narrative talk therapy and somatic expression to shift intrinsic memories that are stuck when processing past trauma, nightmares, and other negative effects of sexual, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual abuse.
As a Certified Yoga Instructor (CYI) she has developed Trauma Focused  Stretch as part of her therapeutic approach for somatic release of trauma trapped in the body. Allowing the body to "speak" and release that which is no longer serving the client. 
 Ronda believes that Bible Study, Prayer, Scripture memorization, and Holy Spirit Power are strong tools in healing the whole person: heart, soul, mind, and strength.
 Her core belief is that people are transformed by the renewing of their minds. What you Believe matters! By using CBT, CPT, DBT & REBT  her clients are challenged and aided in changing their wrong thinking and faulty beliefs. They are then able to update their feelings and change how they approach life thus experiencing  newness of life, resilience, inner strength, cultivating Joy, Good Digging, Grit, and Mental Toughness.
 Ronda specializes in positively empowering her female adult clients, 18 years old to end of life, with complex trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, marital issues, parenting, relationship betrayals, burnout, and transitional issues with her no nonsence approach. She is not a coddler!  Ronda also counsels Heterosexual Couples who want to honor God and their vows to stay married until death do they part. 
NOTE: Ronda does not counsel male clients individually.
  Ronda has many years of business experience having run two multi-million dollar production companies in the Entertanment Industry as well as many years in the banking industry. She holds a California Real Estate License (inactive), a Cosmetology License in Texas & California, and a Substitute Teaching License. 
Ronda believes that psychology is the study of the soul and Jesus Christ is the Savior of the soul and it is this belief that is central to her Psychotherapy practice.

            In recognition of Ronda's enduring love for those who suffer injustice in our city
                 and our world. For her faithfulness, kindness, and great joy in loving those
in need of acceptance, understanding, and friendship.
...and I will show you my faith by my deeds.  James 2:18
